00:00This match is the semi-final of this year's NJPW Light Heavyweight Championship.

00:11Most of the fighters in this year's Light Heavyweight Championship are at least 1,000 to 2,000 points.

00:25They all look like new faces to me.

00:30The one I'm looking forward to the most is Yusuke Tanaka, from the red corner.

00:37He's a member of the support team.

00:42It's a bit strange to say this, but it's been a while since your debut.

00:48It's not like you're that fast.

00:53But you can't keep up with your opponent.

00:57He's going for the punch.

01:01This is...

01:02Wow.

01:04He's going for the punch.

01:07He's going for the punch.

01:12This is intense.

01:18He's got the timing.

01:24He's got the timing.

01:32He's got the timing.

01:37He's got the timing.

01:41He's going for the doctor.

01:43He's got the doctor.

01:49His left arm is injured.

01:53It's from the batting.

01:56The batting.

01:58He's got the jab.

02:02Tanaka is going for it.

02:04He's got it.

02:09How's that?

02:11A slip.

02:12A slip.

02:13A slip.

02:18He looked like he was about to fall.

02:26That was a headbutt.

02:31So, he hit him?

02:33It was a coincidence.

02:35Tanaka said he hit him hard.

02:39Tanaka said he hit him hard.

02:47I think that's what he meant.

02:51He's back.

02:54Wow.

02:55Wow.

02:56He's going for it.

02:58He's going for it.

03:01Wow.

03:03He's got a lot of pressure.

03:06He's got a lot of pressure.

03:11But he's not stopping.

03:13But he's not stopping.

03:19He's resetting.

03:24They're looking at each other.

03:28Tanaka moved first.

03:31He's going for the left jab.

03:35He's going for the left jab.

03:39He's going for the left jab.

03:45Takai is out of breath.

03:49He's going for the low kick.

03:52He's going for the low kick.

03:57He's going for the low kick.

04:00He's going for the low kick.

04:04Tanaka Yusuke, second year, Born in July 2004,

04:09Tanaka Yusuke, second year, Born in July 2004,

04:12In October 1993, he won two titles in a row, and two in a row in the K-1 division.

04:19He was born in December 1991, in Takai High School, Aokona.

04:25He was born in Nishiku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

04:29In May 2022, he won two titles in a row, and one in a row in the K-1 division.

04:36This is his sixth match of the day.

04:43From the first round...

04:47Takai had a moment where he lost his balance.

04:51Tanaka, I think it was a bit of a one-sided match.

04:59Will Takai be able to change things up here?

05:05He's got a good jab. He's calm.

05:09He's going to start the round.

05:11He's going to throw the next punch from the jab.

05:16That's good.

05:17And now Takai is going for the right.

05:21That's good.

05:23He's got it.

05:29He's got it.

05:31In the right division, in Japanese boxing,

05:35it's usually in the middle division, so he has to stop.

05:40That's right.

05:42He's got to check the doctor.

05:46He's going for the chop.

05:48He's only had two rounds.

05:51If he stops here, it's a draw for him.

05:57I see.

05:59He'll have to go over half the distance to decide.

06:03I see.

06:04It's a pretty deep shot.

06:15He's going for it.

06:22He's going for it.

06:23He's going for it.

06:26He's going for it.

06:29Takai is going for it.

06:32They're both running out of time.

06:39He's going for it.

06:41He's taking a risk, but Tanaka is going for it.

06:45He's great.

06:51He's going for it.

06:53He's going for it.

06:55Takai is going for it.

07:00Now Tanaka is going for it.

07:03He's great.

07:05He's going for it.

07:10He's going for it.

07:12He's going for it.

07:14He's going for it.

07:16He's going for it.

07:19Tanaka is going for it.

07:23Tanaka is going for it.

07:33They're both running out of time.

07:36I see.

07:38I'm worried about their stamina.

07:40Takai is out of breath. He's having a hard time breathing.

07:45I see.

07:46So, it's going to be hard for him to run at his usual pace.

07:52But Takai is going for it.

07:55He's great.

07:57He's going for it.

08:02Can you see it on the screen?

08:04You can see it on the screen, but there's a lot of blood on the floor.

08:13The tape on his glove is turning red.

08:22He's going for the batting, again.

08:27What's going on?

08:29He's taking a break from the batting.

08:43Takai is great, too.

08:53He's going for it.

08:56He's got his guard up, and it's the end of the second round.

09:02It was a good fight.

09:04Well, it's been half of the 4th round, so even if the match is over, it's still a draw.

09:13That's right.

09:14I think that's what it's going to be.

09:17So, it's a draw for both of them.

09:22They both want to win this tournament.

09:31I think Tanaka is the main focus of this match.

09:36That's right.

09:38So, it's expected that Takai is going to attack in the second half.

09:44Let's see how he responds to that.

09:47He's going for it.

09:52Round 3.

09:56I'm curious about the red corner.

10:00There's a water trainer in the crowd.

10:07He's an amateur, and he used to be the strongest in Nihon Daigaku.

10:15He was the center of Nihon Daigaku, and he was a world champion.

10:20He was a world champion.

10:23He was a world champion, and he was the strongest in Nihon Daigaku.

10:30He was a world champion, and he was a world champion.

10:35But a few years later, he joined the Sen'en Gym.

10:40There are a lot of tough guys out there, aren't there?

10:44I see.

10:46So, there's a lot of potential in this corner.

10:51I see.

10:52I'm curious to see how Tanaka will respond to Takai, who's coming at him.

11:01This is a great match.

11:03It doesn't look like Tanaka is going to force his way through, does it?

11:10That's right.

11:14Takai is going for the right.

11:19Tanaka is going for the right.

11:23Tanaka is going for the right.

11:26Tanaka is going for the right.

11:29Tanaka is going for the right.

11:31Both of them seem to be getting closer to each other.

11:42They're coming at each other, one at a time.

11:46Let's go!

11:48Both of them seem to be getting closer to each other, one at a time.

11:53Is he going for the head, again?

11:55I'm worried.

12:04He's going for the head.

12:08This is the third time he's taken a break.

12:11He's going for the head, again.

12:17Both of them seem to be getting closer to each other, one at a time.

12:31He's going for the head.

12:34He's going for the head.

12:36Takai is going for the head, one at a time.

12:41He's taking his time to get to the right.

12:46He's holding on to the left hook.

12:50That was a good punch.

12:51He's taking his time to get to the right.

12:55He's amazing.

12:57He's going for the head.

13:04It looks like Takai isn't taking any hits.

13:08Did he go for the right hook?

13:10He did.

13:16He's going for the right hook.

13:19Takai is holding on to the right hook.

13:23That was good.

13:25He's taking his time to get to the right.

13:37He's a little fired up, isn't he?

13:39Yes, he is.

13:40Takai is in a lot of pain, from the cut and the nosebleed.

13:49Right?

13:51He wants to get to the final round.

14:03Do you know which of the two is the winner?

14:06Well, it's up to the judges to decide, but I don't know for sure.

14:13I think Tanaka is the winner, if I'm being honest.

14:22But the last three rounds were tough.

14:28Tanaka didn't have a lot of moves, so it's up to Takai to decide.

14:35But I think Tanaka has the upper hand in every match.

14:44He's going for it.

14:45Yes, he is.

14:47The guard is very tight.

14:49Yes, it's very tight.

14:50Anyway, Tanaka's punches seemed to be hitting Tanaka's head.

15:04That's amazing.

15:08He's guarding Tanaka's first punch, and now he's going for the final round.

15:16He's very calm.

15:18That's amazing.

15:20Takai!

15:21Takai!

15:27Tanaka is in a lot of pain, from the cut and the nosebleed.

15:32But Takai is getting his punches.

15:37He's getting his punches, and he's getting his revenge.

15:42Hurry up! Hurry up!

15:45He's in a lot of pain, from the cut and the nosebleed.

15:51He's going for it.

15:52What will he do?

15:58I want Takai to do his best.

16:00It's tough, isn't it? Only half the match is left.

16:04You can do it!

16:12He's being chased.

16:15Takai is trying to get his revenge.

16:19He's got his right hand.

16:21That's right.

16:23That's what boxing is all about.

16:25That's great.

16:26He's turned the tables.

16:29He's been through a lot, and he's lost his punch.

16:34Yes, that's right.

16:35So, it's going to be tough for him to turn the tables.

16:40There are times like this, right?

16:44Yes, there are.

16:50Takai looks like he's in a lot of pain.

16:55But Tanaka is in a lot of pain, too.

17:00He's getting his punches.

17:02He's got his right hand.

17:06Keep going!

17:08He's good.

17:10Takai's got a lot of resistance.

17:18He's been fighting until the very end.

17:20He has 10 seconds left.

17:25He's going for it.

17:27He's going to the end.
